And if I had prior knowledge BEFORE I drove to the event, I would have
given them mine. As it was, it was back at the hotel. And I left impound
to pack my car and drive straight back to San Diego to attend to my sick
wife. I guess I will get over the shame. :-) I did try to ask around if
anyone wanted to go back to the hotel and take the ticket.

I heard from some others that there were a number of empty seats.
